Washington Letter.

Money for national. defense, money
for a new Navy, the trade dollar
question, the Esds' ship railway, the
backward appropriation billie, the
educational bill, and the anti-polyga-
my bill are some Of the subjects to
which our Lawmakers have given
attention during the week.
The agitation in all sections of the
country of the subject Of immediate
provision for national defense has
had it's effect upon both Houses of
Congress-. Senate committees and
House committees we're busy at the
same time devising ways and means
for the increase of the Navy and
coast defenses, and they ran race of
diligence to get in fret with their
important measures. The Senate
won and is doing nobly with the
question of cruisers, gunboats, forte,
and all sorts of defense.
There has been a vast amount of
talk over the Presidents veto of the
disability pension bill. This matter
presents a remarkable spectacle to
the country, and emphasizes the fact
that the ways of the present admin
istration are past finding out. "A
Democratic President vet"es a gen.
eral pension law in order to enable
Congress to reduce war taxes, and
a Democratic speaker of the House OF
Representatives uses his power to
gag Congress to prevent the removal
of the war tax on tobacco.
When Capt. Eads' great ship rsil-
way scheme came up in the Senate it
was advocated by Senator Hoar as
one of tho most important steps that
the American people bad taken for
generation. 1t would give them
control Of the markets of the world.
After sketching the course of COM
merce in the past and in the present
he said it would hereafter seek
direct paths. There were two routes
eastward and westward, ono through
the Mediterranean sea had cut Asia
and Africa in twain. The other (not
yet open) was to divide the American
continent at Tehuantepec.
The Senator thought if Congress
would cooperate with the great
American inventor and engineer in
his plan for this purpose, it would go
far towards securing future COM
mercisl supremacy for the United
States. "It is not the proposition of
an adventurer" eaid he, "Capt. Eads
stakes upon it fame gained by two
of the greatest engineering feats of
the age"
Senator Gibson favored all attempts
to pierce the isthmus, and would
even applaud the genius of Lesseps
if he were successful in opening the
Panama canal, and effscing the
barrier of the chain of the Cordilleras.
He was disposed to favor any en-
cheering scheme that was backed by
the name of Eads. And then he said
the proposed route would be . con-
tinuation of the Mississippi river in
nearly . direct line. across the
isthmus. The opening of the Nj
carsgus route would invite an issue
with France, England and Spain on
the Monroe doctrine.
The Blair educational bill has been
in committee by the dis
leaders of the Democratic
party, Messrs. Carlisle, Randall and
Morrison. The Republican mem.
bers of the committee, Messrs. Reed
and Hiscock, need one vote tc enable

There is no secret or mystery about
the breeding or raising of good horses.
A person will succeed or fail in this
branch precisely as he deyotes intelli-
gence and judgement to it's prosecu-
ton. Random and i'll directed efforts
produce unsatisfactory results, while
intelligence brings ample reward: Let
a person stand upon the street corner
and make a mental note. of all the
horses which pass by, He will see
them Of many kinds. The massive
and slowly moving draft horse, the
elegant and stylish carriage-team, the
napper and swift moving roadster and
the diminutive Shetland driver by the
children-are all here in obediance to
the law of supply and demand. There
is a demand for all these horses, and
there are persons in other States to
supply this demand. Why should not
the farmers of this and adjoining
States supply it }? Why should not
they have the money that is borne
swiftly away to other States -? Why
should not these hills be covered with
accumulating wealth in the shape of
live stock? You have tens of thou
sands of acres for the purpose, and the
whole world wants American horses.
